But dude, it comes with a free screwdriver and syringe. And just look at that presentation box!That's over 20 dollars.. But maybe not too bad for something you really want in your collection.

Happy new year everyone.
I hope your elbow is improving Mark. It's good you are finding enjoyment in your programming projects. I wonder how many of us oldies are programmers? Marcel, you and myself all write software but it's no surprise that software engineer types are attracted to the cube!
My cubing goals for 2015 are to become a more all-round solver. I want my 4x4 and 5x5 global averages to be sub-1:30 and sub-3:00 and I'd like to be globally sub-30 with Roux, ZZ and Petrus. My CFOP times are stagnant at the moment (almost zero practice) but they're not much worse than when I was focused on 3x3 only. I'd like to push my global CFOP average to sub-20. I can probably knock a second off my 2x2 averages if start predicting the OLL most of the time as well. At some time I ought to figure out my own methods for the Pyraminx and Skewb... before learning a recognised beginner method.
I've also got one or two software ideas but I'm not going to mention them since I may not get around to them!
@Logiqx, we have exactly the same targets for CFOP, 4x4 and 5x5 - funny how we are so close. I got my first sub-1:30 ao50 on 4x4 today, so I might have to adjust that target, but I wouldn't say I'm global sub-1:30 yet.
I see it for 14.47 GBP on Amazon UK with free shipping. No more than I spend on any other 3x3.
Yes, Happy New Year! I wouldn't call myself a programmer although I was originally studying computer science at university until I switched to mechanical engineering.
Learning CLL for 2x2 is on the list somewhere too.
Nice. Now we have Marcel, Mark, Melody, and Mike. (Did I forget anyone?) It's a thread for M people.Refer to me as Mike if you prefer. I never thought I'd be positing when I signed up with the Logiqx nick.
Engineers can do everything.Ah.. so you are still an engineering type.
@Everybody
I might buy a new cube this year, but what to choose? What is your favorite 3x3x3 cube right now?

WeiLong FTW. I would get the HuaChuang. It's what I am most excited about getting. Also, my last name is McEvoy, does that count?I still can't decide between Weilong v1 and Aolong v2... if it has to be a 3x3. Otherwise, the mini Aosu is on my personal wish list.

I agree with Marcel - AoLong v2/v1 or WeiLong v2. I don't like the feel of the WeiLong v1 so much.
Formula is apparently a rebranded SuLong. Marcel, have you compared the pieces?
I have 4 SuLongs and NONE come even close in performance and feel. The pieces are different. If they would have said rebranded GuanLong I would believe it. But still I have only two GuanLongs and they have no rings (I forgot how you call them). GuanLong is slower than Formula.
lol, how come having 4 of them . did you want to start multi blind or something XD?
I want one in Black, I want one in White, I want one in Milky white etc etc.. you get the picture right?
yeah i understand . next up black 13x13, white 13x13, original plastic 13x13 etc etc
Strange. See this video and the comments underneath: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Myx2DdrVEn4I have 4 SuLongs and NONE come even close in performance and feel. The pieces are different.

I wonder what the truth is? Do the Formula's pieces resemble any other YJ cube? Can you post photos?
